The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 237, Disgraced

November 8, 1983. In Changsha in the south, it was rainy, damp and cold, unbearable.

At the National University of Defense Technology, Professor Ci Yungui walked into the office with a frown, and when he saw the huge supercomputer in front of him, his mood became even uglier.

The reason why Ci Yungui was in a bad mood was very simple. After the Spring Festival this year, Harbin Institute of Technology established a Nebula supercomputer project. They wanted to develop a supercomputer with a floating-point computing speed of 10 billion times.

If it was another university, or another professor, Ci Yungui wouldn't take it seriously at all.

But the person in charge of the Nebula supercomputing project is Wang Duoyu.

Ci Yungui was very familiar with this person's name. If he met him, he would definitely say with gritted teeth: I've long heard of your name.

Three years ago, Wang Duoyu had developed a distributed computer with a floating-point computing speed of 80 million times.

When this computer came out, it posed a huge threat to the Galaxy supercomputer project that Ci Yungui was in charge of.

However, Wang Duoyu did not continue this research, so it came to nothing.

Now, three years have passed and the Galaxy supercomputer project is almost completed, but Ci Yungui can't be happy at all.

Because Anshan Iron and Steel, the Ministry of Petroleum, the National Meteorological Administration, the General Staff, the 749th Bureau and other units were not very interested in the Galaxy supercomputer.

Ugh!
So much money and time wasted in vain, what was the point?

In the morning, two jeeps sped into the National University of Defense Technology. They went straight to the Galaxy Supercomputer Project Office and met Ci Yungui, the person in charge.

"Professor Ci, the latest news from Harbin Institute of Technology is that the Nebula Supercomputing Team, led by Professor Wang Duoyu, has invited the General Staff, the Ministry of Petroleum, and other organizations. In two days, they will be testing their new equipment on the Harbin Institute of Technology campus."

"It's said that the development of the Nebula supercomputer developed by Professor Wang and his team has come to a temporary halt. It seems they have now developed a supercomputer with a floating-point computing speed of 3 billion times, and its performance in other aspects is also very impressive, reaching the international leading level."

After hearing the words of the visitor, Ci Yungui almost lost his balance. Fortunately, the graduate student next to him supported him and prevented him from falling.

"Is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true, Professor Ci. The Nebula supercomputer developed by Harbin Institute of Technology is definitely not simple. I don't know the specific data yet."

Ci Yungui fell silent for a moment. After a long while, he stood up straight and said:

"Then let's go join in the fun and see what's going on at Harbin Institute of Technology."

He was unwilling to admit defeat, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him that Harbin Institute of Technology is no longer what it used to be, and they are definitely not that simple.

So, Ci Yungui immediately left Changsha and personally led the team to the ice city in the north.

When the plane landed at Yanjiagang Airport in the Ice City, the sky was clear, but snow could still be seen on the ground.

It snowed last night. Although it wasn't heavy, the snow didn't melt at all.

So you can see some pretty nice snow at this time.

When walking out of the cabin door, Ci Yungui couldn't help but shiver. Isn't this Ice City too cold?

I used to hear that the northwest wind was like a knife, and now I finally feel what it feels like to be cut by a knife.

So uncomfortable!

The person who came to greet Ci Yungui was Han Jue, the third-in-command of Harbin Institute of Technology. The standard was already very high.

"Professor Ci, welcome. You don't know how happy our Professor Wang was when he heard you were coming. He wanted to come to the airport to greet you, but something happened and he was delayed, so he asked me to apologize to you."

Wang Duoyu was also very envious of Ci Yungui's technical team.

In the history of the original time and space, the technical team led by Ci Yungui was able to develop the Galaxy giant supercomputer in just over five years, which is enough to prove that their technical strength is very strong.

In this time and space, due to the relationship between Wang Duoyu and others, the Galaxy giant supercomputer was almost destroyed.

But that is because they are heading in the wrong direction, so they are abandoned by the times.

If Ci Yungui's team could come to Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu believed that the Nebula supercomputing project could be completed faster.

After shaking hands with Han Jue, Ci Yungui asked doubtfully:

"Principal Han, the Professor Wang you're talking about is Professor Wang Duoyu?"

He didn't quite believe that Wang Duoyu would value him and his team. After all, the Nebula supercomputer led by Wang Duoyu was already at the international leading level, and there was no reason for it to look down on the Galaxy giant supercomputer.

Han Jue smiled enthusiastically and nodded:

"Yes, that's right, it's Professor Wang Duoyu. Come on, Professor Ci, let's get in the car first. I'll have a good chat with you later. Let me tell you about our Professor Wang."

After landing in Ice City, Ci Yungui and his five-member team were warmly received by Han Jue and others.

This cannot be faked, because even if Han Jue was acting, no one else could have such good acting skills.

There is also a heater in the car, and the car seat cushions can be heated, which is really comfortable.

Ci Yungui and his group all felt the enthusiasm of Harbin Institute of Technology.

After entering the vicinity of Harbin Institute of Technology, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Because Harbin Institute of Technology is basically surrounded by large enterprises, such as Diao Pai Company, Huaxin Company, Dolphin Games, etc., and these companies have one characteristic, that is, they are labor-intensive enterprises.

After entering the campus, Ci Yungui and the others were stunned.

The campus of Harbin Institute of Technology is very large and has been expanded, almost encompassing thousands of acres of surrounding land.

In the past few years, Harbin Institute of Technology has been under construction. Because it is located in Northeast China, it is winter for half a year, and construction is impossible in winter.

So in reality, there is only half a year of construction time each year, but even so, the changes in Harbin Institute of Technology are still very big.

While the tallest buildings on other university campuses are only five, six, seven or eight stories high, Harbin Institute of Technology already has several buildings that are more than ten stories high.

"Professor Wang, what is he busy with right now? Can we go to their Nebula Supercomputing Project Department and take a look at their supercomputer?"

After arriving at the place, Ci Yungui put forward his request, hoping that Han Jue could help.

But the latter refused, and the reason was very simple:
"Professor Ci, what a coincidence! Professor Wang is still dealing with a technical issue on a project. I don't know what it is specifically."

"And since you've just arrived, you should rest up first. Other leaders from the General Staff will be here tomorrow. How about you all come together to inspect and verify the calculations?"

Upon hearing this, Ci Yungui could only nod in agreement.

At this time, Wang Duoyu was indeed busy.

A subgroup responsible for the subcommittee on the subcommittee of the Mach 5 fighter project, which was working on a subcommittee of the ramjet engine project, encountered technical problems while testing a subcommittee of the ramjet engine nozzle as an air supply system.

It's not a very important technical issue, but he still needs to deal with it.

This supply system is mainly used to solve the problem that the existing supply system has poor reliability and synchronization and can only realize a single actuation process.

There is no need to elaborate on the importance of the sub-combustion ramjet engine. Wang Duoyu naturally hopes that this engine can be designed better and perform better in future fighter test flights.

As for making the fighter jets perform better in combat, Wang Duoyu didn't think so much about it.

Because he is only developing the power unit of the fighter jet, so that the fighter jet can complete more difficult movements in more complex environments, or have stronger power performance while having a faster speed.

"How could this go wrong? Did you guys miss something?"

In the laboratory, Wang Duoyu frowned and thought, while other members of the team were also reflecting.

This system mainly includes high-pressure gas source, valve front pipeline, first high-pressure manual valve, primary solenoid valve, second high-pressure manual valve, secondary solenoid valve and two valve back pipelines.

The pipeline before the valve includes one inlet and two outlets. The inlet of the pipeline before the valve is connected to the high-pressure gas source, and one of the outlets is connected to the inlet of the primary solenoid valve through the first high-pressure manual valve.
All of this seems simple, but it is actually very complex.

Both the primary solenoid valve and the secondary solenoid valve are wrapped with a heat protection structure, and this heat protection structure includes aerosol layers and tinfoil layers alternately stacked from the inside to the outside, and the aerosol layers and the tinfoil layers are at least three layers.

Logically speaking, no accidents should happen in such a situation, after all, it was strictly designed.

After checking, Wang Duoyu still couldn't find out where the specific problem occurred.

After spending so much time and still not finding the problem, Wang Duoyu asked them to build a new supply system according to the design drawings.

"Professor Wang, isn't this too wasteful? A system costs over 300,000 US dollars and 900,000 RMB."

When the team members heard this, they were dumbfounded and quickly started to persuade them.

"I know, but what can I do? Can you find out the reason?" Wang Duoyu said expressionlessly.

A supply system costs a lot of money because the nozzle actuating air supply system composed of these components is not simple and is very important.

There is absolutely no need to waste a lot of time on this supply system.

Whenever there is a computing problem, Wang Duoyu can quickly find the cause, but it is not due to the computing power.

So Wang Duoyu could only spend money.

"Professor Wang, how about this? Give us another week and we guarantee we can solve this problem."

"You've been putting it off for almost a month, week after week. When have you ever actually done anything?"

Wang Duoyu was unmoved and said:
"I can give you another week. If you can't solve the problem, your project bonus will be deducted and your salary will be deducted for two months. But even so, it won't make up for the loss of these equipment."

"The technical problems are definitely related to you. I don't know if one of you was negligent or what, but now the project has problems and you must be held responsible for it."

The entire group suddenly turned pale and looked pitiful.

In fact, their salaries are not low and they have quite a bit of savings, but no one would complain that the money is too little.

Moreover, the project bonus is still very high, and everyone wants to get this money. The most important thing is that not getting the bonus is of course unforgivable for people with a strong sense of honor.

Wang Duoyu wanted to put pressure on them, otherwise, they would continue to drift.

After knocking, Wang Duoyu walked out of the laboratory building. At this time, it was completely dark.

One day just passed like this.

When they just returned to the villa, Liu Xiaoli and the others had not gone to bed yet, but Wang Junhong had already fallen asleep.

"Duoyu, you're back. Have you eaten? The kitchen has left some food for you."

Liu Xiaoli, who was pregnant, saw him, stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Liu Xiaoli confirmed that she was pregnant in May this year. It has been six months since then, November 10th. According to the doctor, the due date should be January next year.

"No, where's Junhong? Is he asleep?"

"Well, he was just wondering when you would be home, and then just after eight o'clock, he got so sleepy that we let him go to bed."

Wang Duoyu nodded and went to the bedroom to check on the little guy. When he came out, Liang Xiufen had already brought out the food. Wang Meili and the others all gathered around and started chatting with him.

After the confinement period, Wang Meili and her sister still did not leave their ninth brother's house.

Who made them need to study?

Since they need to study, they need someone to help take care of their children. If they go back to their own homes, that definitely won't work.

So they could only stay at their ninth brother's house.

Now the two sisters are very proactive in learning and they ask questions on their own initiative without Wang Duoyu urging them.

Wang Duoyu was very pleased to see that they loved learning so much, so he was happy to talk to them about study.

The next morning, Wang Duoyu came to the laboratory of the Nebula Supercomputing Project Department. At this time, relevant technicians from the General Staff, Anshan Iron and Steel Group, the Ministry of Petroleum and other departments had already arrived at the scene.

The unexpected guests were Ci Yungui and his team of six. Everyone knew them, so when they saw them, their expressions were somewhat unnatural.

Ci Yungui didn't take it too seriously. He valued Wang Duoyu more, so when he saw the latter coming, he immediately stepped forward to say hello.

"Professor Ci, I have long heard of your great name. Welcome to visit Harbin Institute of Technology."

Wang Duoyu was very warm and polite. Of course, he was not really being polite, but he really meant "I have heard of your great name for a long time".

After a brief greeting, Ci Yungui already had an idea in mind, but he was still not very clear about the situation of the Nebula supercomputer.

Then the test officially begins.

The supercomputer in front of us is not the one from more than two months ago, but a newly rebuilt supercomputer.

In order to obtain investment funds for mass production of supercomputers, Wang Duoyu gave orders to Song Xinwen and others that this time, units like Angang Steel must place orders to purchase at least ten units.

First focus on domestic scientific research institutions, and then slowly look for foreign scientific research institutions to promote it. There is no rush anyway.

A supercomputer with 3 billion floating-point operations will definitely dominate the market for at least a year, so Wang Duoyu is naturally not in a hurry.

Under Wang Duoyu's command, Pang Dianchen, Niu Xisheng, Lu Xuemin and others began the test with ease.

Ci Yungui and others all stood aside and watched carefully. They were all technicians, and they didn't need to use the Nebula supercomputer themselves to see some clues about its performance.

After starting the test, Wang Duoyu left the laboratory first. He did not plan to stay here and wait for the test results. After all, he had other work to do.

After the test is over, Wang Duoyu will come back here.

In the office of the Department of Mathematics teaching building, Wang Duoyu looked down at the manuscript paper in front of him and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he started writing again.

The fourth paper on the geometric Langlands conjecture requires proving the duality theorem, but Wang Duoyu had already completed the proof process before and had deduced and checked it many times to confirm that it was correct.

Now he just wants to complete that the left adjoint and right adjoint of LG are isomorphic, because this is an important step in proving that LG is an equivalence functor.

Once he completes this step, the most critical part of the geometric Langlands conjecture will be officially completed.

A few days ago, John Milnor and his small group of eight people came to him again and discussed with him the proof process of generalizing the equivalence results in the third paper to more general cases.

Wang Duoyu wasted a lot of brain cells on this matter.

One thing is clear: he needs to act.

The fourth paper has not come out yet, but the third paper is almost ready to be submitted.

Therefore, he also had to find time to complete this fourth paper.

Two hours later, he put away the proof paper and planned to write the fourth paper in the next few days.

And now he is going back to Laboratory Building No. 6.

When he returned to the laboratory building and just entered the Nebula Supercomputing Project Laboratory, he saw Ci Yungui and the others, all of whom had happy faces.

"Professor Wang, you are really amazing."

Seeing Wang Duoyu come in, technicians from the General Staff, the Ministry of Petroleum, Anshan Iron and Steel Group and other units all gave him a thumbs up and applauded.

They are sincerely happy about the Nebula supercomputing project led by Wang Duoyu.

The floating-point computing speed of 3.28 billion times is the international leading level.

Although a Nebula supercomputer is not cheap, it is worth the money.

Wang Duoyu greeted everyone modestly. After a while, everyone moved to the next meeting room to discuss the order.

People from the General Staff and other units came to Harbin Institute of Technology not just to applaud Wang Duoyu and others, but they came with a mission.

Since Harbin Institute of Technology has pushed supercomputing technology to such a level, the General Staff and other units will definitely not leave it unused.

Just place your order directly.

While they were discussing, Wang Duoyu called Ci Yungui to the small office on the other side. After a few simple pleasantries, Wang Duoyu got straight to the point:

"Professor Ci, let me be frank. Our Nebula Supercomputing Project needs you and your technical team. Why not join us? I believe you have already seen the current situation of our Nebula Supercomputing Project."

"Next we need to sprint to reach 100 petaflops, but as you know, we are already short on manpower."

"To be honest, we still have a lot of experiments to complete, such as semantic networks, integrated circuit optimization, and fluid flow visualization using cellular automata."

"I need to continue to improve the symbolic algorithm, and I have other work to do, so I can't do it in two places."

"Professor Ci, please join our Nebula Supercomputing team!"

After hearing what Wang Duoyu said, Ci Yungui was completely stunned.

In his opinion, the Nebula Supercomputing project has many elite talents and has found the right path.

Although the supercomputing research direction of large-scale parallel processing technology is still a new direction, it is undoubtedly correct at present. Otherwise, the Nebula supercomputer would not have allowed Harbin Institute of Technology to overtake others.

In the industrial field, there is no such thing as overtaking on a curve.

But Harbin Institute of Technology did it!

Ci Yungui didn't know how Harbin Institute of Technology did it. If he wanted to know, he might only be able to accept Wang Duoyu's invitation and join the Nebula supercomputing project team of Harbin Institute of Technology.

But Nebula Supercomputer already has one or two hundred people, so why does it still need Ci Yungui?

However, he was moved when he saw the sincerity in Wang Duoyu's eyes.

"Professor Wang, you're telling me this so suddenly that my mind is completely blank. How about you give me some time to think about it?"

Wang Duoyu nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

However, he was not worried that Ci Yungui would refuse, because the conditions he offered were unlikely to be rejected by the other party.

He could also see that the other party was very tempted, but the National University of Defense Technology probably wouldn't let him go so easily.

So after leaving with Ci Yungui, Wang Duoyu went to find Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang and talked to them about this matter.

In the secretary's office, Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang could hardly believe their ears after hearing what was said.

"No, Duoyu, if I heard you correctly, you were talking about Professor Ci Yungui and his entire technical team. You want to pack up and take their entire team away, right?"

After Liu Deben recovered from his shock, he asked seriously.

Lu Gongliang also stared at Wang Duoyu, hoping that the latter was joking.

After all, Wang Duoyu's move is undoubtedly undermining the foundation of the National University of Defense Technology.

You should know that the Galaxy supercomputer project was originally led by the National University of Defense Technology. Although after the emergence of the Nebula supercomputer, the Galaxy supercomputer has completely become a thing of the past.

It was inevitable that the entire project team would fall apart.

After all, one hundred million and three billion are not on the same level at all.

Of course, the Nebula supercomputer is a massively parallel supercomputer with 80,000 processors, which is relatively speaking a trick. It can only be said that the Galaxy supercomputer did not deserve to lose.

But no matter what, Wang Duoyu's proposal to directly poach the entire Ci Yungui team is truly shocking.

If the National University of Defense Technology had any backbone, it would definitely not be happy about this.

"Yes, Secretary, Principal, I was not wrong!"

Wang Duoyu nodded solemnly and said:
"I know this matter is very serious. Even if the National University of Defense Technology agrees, the higher-ups might not be happy about it. That's why I'm telling you this. I hope you can help coordinate it."

"Of course, if the National University of Defense Technology or higher-level institutions have any requests, they can also raise them. If we can do so, we will help them as much as possible."

Win-win cooperation has always been Wang Duoyu’s theory. After all, many hands make light work.

At this stage, the Nebula supercomputer seems very powerful and at the international leading level, but in fact, foreigners are not pushovers either.

Let’s not talk about the Polar Bear Empire, they have already gone astray.

But Japan and the United States are definitely very strong opponents, especially Japan. According to the historical trajectory of the original time and space, they will soon overtake others.

In the history of the original time and space, at this point in the 1s, Cray Corporation dominated the entire supercomputer market in the first half, but in the second half, that is, in , the CM supercomputer launched by Thinking Machines gradually divided the market.

Unfortunately, Thinking Machines' CM1 was well received but not popular.

Although their company has an amazing engineering team, the intertwined issues of artificial intelligence technology, customer needs, commercialization progress, and even corporate management make it difficult for the entire team to reach a consensus.

Simply put, there is serious internal friction.

From a technical perspective, the main shortcomings of CM1 include limited processor memory, slow communication network, no support for floating-point numbers, and difficulty in getting started. In addition, due to the physical limitations of the machine itself, many of CM1's intended applications cannot be realized, such as the inability to recognize faces or perform natural language processing.

The theory of face recognition technology appeared in the 2s. After entering the s, it was improved with the development of computer technology and optical imaging technology. After entering the s, D face recognition technology appeared.

So CM1 is definitely a groundbreaking supercomputing product, but unfortunately it was too advanced and was born at the wrong time.

As the 1990s were approaching, Thinking Machines and Cray were caught in internal conflicts. With policy changes, the companies were losing money, and the CEOs stepped down, the companies were about to enter the bankruptcy and acquisition process.

At this time, Japan, which had been hiding for a long time, came up with the NECSX-3/44R supercomputer in , which completely broke the monopoly of the United States in the market.

NEC, Fuji, and Hitachi inherited Simon Cray's legacy and built supercomputers based on vector processors.

Fujifilm even built the world's fastest supercomputer between 1994 and 1996, using a total of 166 vector processors, each of which could perform 1.7 billion floating-point operations per second.

Next was Hitachi's SR2201, which achieved a peak performance of 2048 billion floating-point operations per second thanks to its 3 processors connected by a high-speed 6000D interleaved network.

Of course, this happened in the original time and space. Such a thing will definitely not happen again in this time and space.

Today's Nebula supercomputer has launched a fierce attack on large-scale parallel processing technology.

Looking back at the development history of supercomputers in the original time and space, it has gone through vector machines, symmetric multiprocessors, massively parallel processors, and the future cluster architecture.

Supercomputing is not simply a stack of CPUs, but requires a lot of proprietary technologies to ensure that many processors work together in coordination and parallel processing, which is not an easy task.

Ci Yungui and his technical team seemed to have no experience in this area, but in fact, that was because they were heading in the wrong direction.

The Galaxy supercomputer was originally developed based on the Cray1 supercomputer of the American Cray Corporation. This was originally a product of the s, but now it is the s, and the Nebula supercomputer that Wang Duoyu came up with is a large-scale parallel processing technology.

This technology is still in its infancy today. Thinking Machines is still developing CM1, and it will take them at least until 1 to release CM.

If Harbin Institute of Technology wants to continue to lead the global supercomputer market in the future, it must continue to expand its technical team, and Ci Yungui and his team are the ones Wang Duoyu most wants to win over.

As the saying goes, "If you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries." Wang Duoyu is very aware of the ever-changing supercomputing market. Perhaps because of his entry, huge changes may occur abroad.

Supercomputers involve many key technologies, including multi-core and many-core processor technology suitable for supercomputing, high-speed and large-capacity data cache technology, low-latency and high-bandwidth Internet technology capable of handling a large number of concurrent requests, and low-energy cooling and heat dissipation technology.

Upon hearing this, Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang said that there was no problem.

"No matter what, we will try our best to fight for you!"

Wang Duoyu expressed his gratitude and was about to get up and leave when Liu Deben called him:

"The site for your Nebula supercomputing project has already been planned. When will it be put into operation?"

"Once Ci Yungui and his team join us, we can start operations."

The production of the Nebula supercomputer does not actually require a very large site, but the requirements for the site itself are very high.

Harbin Institute of Technology has many venues, and a large number of venues are planned almost every year. The main reason is that there are many projects within Harbin Institute of Technology, and many technological products can always be incubated.

Once these technological products are developed, they must be put into production to create value.

At this time, a large amount of space is needed to produce these technological products.

The Nebula supercomputer submitted its application very early, but its priority was not high. After all, it was not in a hurry to be put into use, so it was delayed until now.

"Okay, what about the PHS mobile phone project?"

Wang Duoyu heard this and said:

"We're still only in the base station deployment phase, so there's no need to discuss this with me. Besides, PHS phones won't be available until February or March next year at the earliest. There's no rush."

"I'm quite busy right now. Secretary, please keep an eye on me and get Professor Ci Yungui and his technical team to our Nebula project as soon as possible."

In fact, after November and December, he will be able to relax a little.

Because at this time, he would not have to teach students like Zheng Baodong, Mai Zili, and Wei Yuanchao.

To be honest, this class of students seems easy to teach, but in fact it is not that easy.

Ugh!
The next day, Ci Yungui came to the Mathematics Department building to find Wang Duoyu, but the latter was giving a lecture, so he also found a seat to audit.

Ci Yungui did not come alone, he brought two people with him, both of whom were his students, one named Shen Qingxiang and the other named Bao Yuhang.

After the class ended, Wang Duoyu looked at Ci Yungui happily:

"Professor Ci, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This purely theoretical research course is quite boring, isn't it?"

“No, it’s wonderful.”

Hearing Ci Yungui's praise, Wang Duoyu smiled. At this time, the former's student Shen Qingxiang, not knowing whether he wanted to show off or what, actually took the initiative to ask questions.

But the latter's question instantly wiped out the smile on Ci Yungui's face, and he quickly scolded:

"If you don't understand, don't pretend to know. This is a paper related to the geometric Langlands conjecture. Your number theory foundation is so poor, and you're embarrassing yourself here. Go back and reflect on this."

Shen Qingxiang: “.”

No, it’s just a question, why is it embarrassing?

Bao Yuhang suddenly stopped talking. Fortunately, Shen Qingxiang spoke first, otherwise, he would be the one who was embarrassed.

"Professor Wang, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. These two students of mine really make me worry so much," Ci Yungui said helplessly.
"You don't know, they actually asked me to revise their papers before, really..."

Wang Duoyu immediately responded: "Well, it's Tiangang!"

He is also a mentor, so of course he feels deeply about this.

"Professor Ci, my students are all the same. They are all restless and their papers are not very good."

Shen Qingxiang and Bao Yuhang immediately pricked up their ears, wanting to hear more gossip.

They had more or less heard of Wang Duoyu's seven disciples, two doctors and five masters, but none of them had graduated yet.

It’s not that they can’t graduate, their papers are still very impressive. Anyway, I’ve heard from professors in the Department of Mathematics at the National University of Defense Technology that their papers are better than those of these professors.

But they are obviously strong, but they did not graduate. In Wang Duoyu's words, such students are "not very good" and "restless".

Is this a compliment or an insult?

Ci Yungui's face was full of disbelief:
"Professor Wang, you got it the other way around, didn't you?"

"I've heard about your seven students. They're quite impressive. And when you recruited them, your requirements were very high."

"Are you asking too much of them?"

Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:

"It's not that I hold them to high standards, but they're just so hard on themselves. They come to me at least twice a week with at least five questions each time. I don't know where they get all those questions. They're already masters and PhDs, so why do they still have so many?"

“You’re not an elementary school student.”

"This July, I went to Warsaw to get a medal. They wanted it too, and they all wanted to get it. They all wanted to be more reluctant to graduate, and then they chose difficult topics. I was so worried."

"To be honest, these students pose no threat to me in the academic world, but they are almost ruining my reputation in the education world."

Shen Qingxiang and Bao Yuhang: "."

If they knew the word Versailles, they would definitely use these three words to shut Wang Duoyu up.

What do you mean you are not a primary school student?

Asking questions twice a week, is that too many questions?

Then they ask their teacher Ci Yungui a lot of questions almost every day. Aren’t they problem makers?
Some people even say that he has been ruined in the education field. Is that an exaggeration?

Anyone who can set his goal of winning the Fields Medal is already a big shot that Shen Qingxiang and others need to look up to. But such a person is obviously Wang Duoyu's student, yet he makes Wang Duoyu worried?

Ci Yungui really wanted a student as troublesome as Wang Duoyu and wished she could give him dozens of them.

Yang Nianzhen, Yorks, Bochers, Maxim, Li Jun, Li Jianshu and Rong Guangxia, every one of them, do these seven students have anything to do with the word "bad"?

There is absolutely no relationship.

But, forget it, it's just a casual chat, no need to take it too seriously.

At this moment, they had already returned to Wang Duoyu's office.

Shen Qingxiang and Bao Yuhang were both researchers on the Galaxy giant supercomputer project. They were already accustomed to the security guards, but they were still very surprised when they came to Wang Duoyu's office.

The entire floor is used by Wang Duoyu alone. Oh, by the way, there is also a secretary's office.

But he actually used it alone.

how to say?

Awesome!
He is truly worthy of being a world-famous super boss.

In the office, Wang Duoyu and others sat down one by one. After exchanging pleasantries, Ci Yungui got down to business.

"Professor Wang, if my team and I join your Nebula supercomputing project, what can we gain?"

Negotiate terms!
This is inevitable.

Wang Duoyu laughed when he heard this. He was not afraid that the other party would not put forward any conditions, but he was afraid that the other party would not put forward any conditions at all.

"Professor Ci, I won't tell you what I can offer you. Let me first briefly talk about the current salary of the Nebula Project."

"First of all, I proposed the Nebula project in January this year, just before the Spring Festival. At that time, I applied for 500 million RMB in R&D funding. The money was immediately received after the project plan was approved."

"The project was officially launched in early February, and most of the equipment had been arranged at that time."

"Three months ago, in August, the Nebula Project's phased plan was achieved, and we launched our profit plan. That's why you're here today."

"Song Xinwen, Pang Dianchen, Lv Xuemin and other project team members will each receive a minimum of 3,000 RMB in project bonuses, and that's just the base amount."

Gulu!

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingxiang and Bao Yuhang swallowed their saliva in frustration, their eyes almost popping out.

Isn’t the Nebula project too luxurious?
Five hundred million RMB in R&D funds, just given like that?
You have to know that five years ago, the total investment in the Galaxy supercomputer project was 100 million yuan, and even that was paid in batches.

And each member of the project team can get at least 3,000 RMB?

If I remember correctly, the Nebula project team previously had a total of 158 R&D personnel, right?

In other words, if you only pay an average bonus of 3,000 yuan, you will have to pay 474,000 yuan, not to mention it is more than that?

The two of them couldn't help but look at their teacher, their eyes filled with urgency and expectation: Teacher, please agree to Professor Wang!

Ci Yungui's eyes widened. "Professor Wang, are you talking about 500 million RMB in R&D funds? All of it was received as soon as the project was approved? How? Where did all that money come from?"
